When someone is power hungry they will do anything to get ahead, with no regard to the people they hurt.
If you lead with your heart you always take people's feelings into consideration. This quote is true because we would then be doing nice things for each other.
Yes, reminds me of that expression, 'power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely.'
We only need look at places like Syria where they're fighting such a dirty war just to stay in power! I really can't comprehend how anyone could sleep at night after innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire.
Love is an amazing thing, but it can't stop people from doing what they're going to do in an insane attempt to rule the world. We can only hope and pray that some day love will conquer all, so the world will know peace.
Thanks Randy. 'Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely.' Yes, an observation that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. Sadly, the world seems to be moving in that way.
And as you say we can only hope that some day love will conquer all so the world will know peace.

Hi Chris and welcome to the site. Yes, the world is badly in need of love. But I believe we can all individually contribute to giving more.
We can have compassion, tolerance and empathy. We have to want to have it and have to want to make a difference.
